Stupid little things that bug you

Daphne's brother in Frasier, played by Anthony LaPaglia (both are supposed to be from Manchester). She has a passable Northern accent, his is a wank cockney effort, although to be fair he wears a rag tee shirt in it as well, so makes sense....
His accent was hilarious. As was the scene when Niles goes on the Mancunian pub and it’s like a scene from a 1950s b movie
 
People who put on the full lycra to go out for a walk. This morning out with the 2 dogs. One is 17 so we are not the quickest. Spotted 2 lasses in the full Olympic sprint gear walking behind us down the path. One even had the under armour on. So I step aside to let them pass and ffs I was stuck behind them for half a mile.
Also there are quite a few who are rather overweight and still turn out in the full strip. My dad used to have a phrase which they remind of, "a busted couch".



Where are the photo`s or it didnt happen. Come on ffs you know the rule`s

The Miss has had friends on.....
Monica meets a British guy talking about cheese - posh guy from London.
Ross marries a british girl - posh girl from London.
Geo-storm, British baddie character - posh guy from London.
That’s just from the last few days...it does my head in!
I’ll calm down, crack a beer open and watch Notting Hill later
 
"YOUS" really gets on my nerves. Predominantly used by Miserysiders, but now getting everywhere.

Can I argue with you on this point, in fact fuck I am going to. I always thought you'se was a Manc 'scally' saying.

Are you'se der Dibble, being a classic phrase (are you the police for non mancs)
 
Yanks and Canadians are backwards when it comes to dates. Today for instance over here is 05/08/2020
Weird really because Canada usually does the opposite of those weirdos.

The classic being the very sad Twin Towers tragedy. 9-11 ! The fact that there is a chain of supermarkets called 7-11 doesn't seem to bother them, it is the 11th of September you stupid colonial fuck wits.
 
My Mrs will insist on watching something on the tele .when I had planned on watching something else. We then sit thru some tosh and she goes to bed 15 minutes before the end.
Last night she also insisted on watching the Queen at 9pm and 2 minutes into the speech went to the toilet.
She will also watch a film and have no idea what is going on. At both The Usual Suspects and Pulp Fiction, which we went to the cinema to see, she piped up 15 minutes before the end "do you know whats going on"

While we're on yank weirdness, can I throw in the way they have to pronounce the h in vehicle, changing the word to 3 syllables.

My Mrs will go to the bog and I'll say "do you want me to pause it" she says no, it's OK and then comes back downstairs and ask me if anything has happened.

Makes me want to throttle her.

?
7-11 markets were around long before 9-11 and have nothing to do with each other.
7-11 were the original hours they were open back in the day when everything else was closed, hence convenient store.

pronouncing a hard or soft H doesn't change the fact that vehicle is a 3 syllable word.
Being a canuck and a member of the Commonwealth of the Realm, I do not pronounce the h. ;)
